N San Diego Has Changed – Where to put Down Roots???

[dharmagirl]

You know, I’m honestly not sure. I could try to find out – I’ve run into a few people who go to the City Council meetings, and are ‘plugged in’.

You might also consider contacting the Temecula Chamber – it’s a very active group and very involved with the city.

I’m not sure that San Diego County is exactly a shining example of fine governance…tho I’m willing to be wrong about that.

I think there are some very nice areas in town (Meadowview, Los Ranchitos, etc) and nice communities on the outskirts. As I said before, I’m beginning to like the small-town feel here.

Many of the people I’ve met (including our soon-to-be new neighbors) seem to have a lot of civic pride and are very involved in the community. I volunteered for the Temecula Balloon and Wine Festival (www.tvbwf.com) and was impressed with the level of commitment that I’ve seen. There are only a few paid staff members and the event runs on the spirit and energy of volunteers. Same thing with the arts community here.

I didnt see this type of thing in other areas of North County when I lived there.

You should definitely check out the Santa Rosa Eco Preserve when you come to visit. It’s gorgeous and the mountain biking is easy and fun. Again, I’d be happy to give you more info when you decide to come and visit.

What part of the world are you in right now? Are you looking forward to “coming home” (and making a home!)?

Looking forward to finally putting down roots and excited we have chosen N County. We will research in-depth the places you & others have suggested but the more I hear of the area you are in the more appealing it seems… still, we want to keep all options open and attempt to stick to our priority list.

I lived off & on for 15 years in Va Beach, VA (owned two different properties there) with a short two yr stay in D.C. (Georgetown) … also a ten year stretch in San Diego (IB, Pt Loma, and Coronado – all rentals). We currently live in Micronesia on the Governments coin – yes, a small tropical Island (Guam) and we do have Island fever but are making the most out of it…. It is a very, very, very long plane ride back – especially with three little ones. How many middle aged parents can take their little ones to a tropical Island for a few years – and get paid for it. It is a give & take but we do not want to compromise too much in our final home.

The Wine Festival & Eco Preserve would fit well with our family … I know some of Temecula and the valley but cannot wait to see the changes and get a real feel for the area.

Stay in touch and of any major changes in the region… James
